[QUOTE="Fiftydriver, post: 91021, member: 10"] Your pushing it in a 1-14 twist with a tipped 55 gr bullet. Its worth a try but don;t buy alot of them as I suspect you will have stability issues at long range. I would say the 60 gr will not stabilize. That said, try them, stranger things have certainly happened. I will also say that 700 yards with a 55-60 gr pill will be difficult in anything but perfect conditions. At least if your looking for consistant hits at that range on small targets. If I had to pick a bullet to use in that combo it would either be the 50 gr Ballistic Tip or the 50 gr Blitzking. I use the Blitzking in my 25" 22-250 AI and get 4000 fps with 3/8" groups. It is not however a 700 yard rifle. 500 yards is about what I limit it to and then go to something with a higher BC bullet. Let us know how it works for you. Kirby Allen(50) [/QUOTE]
